DEATHzIN THE WATER!
rs THE ELEMENT WE DRINK
DECIMATING THE PEOPLE?


~~~s@ 1850
A few years ago the people in certain
section in one Of the leading cities of the
State were prostrated with a malignant
disease, and upon investigation it was
found that only those who used water
from famous old well were the victims.
Professor S. A. baltimore, analyst of
the New York State Board of Health,
upon analyzing water from this well,
found it more deadly than the city
sewage!
The filling up Of the old well stopped
the ravages of the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed while
some men were making an excavation
for large building, a stratum of dark
colored earth running from near the
surface to hard pan. There it took an
other course toward a well near at hand.
The water from this we'll had for years
been tainted with the DRAWINGS from q
receiving vault, the percolations Of which
had discolored the earth! - =
Terrible! -
a similar condition of things exists in
every village and city where well water
is used, and though the filtering which
the fluids receive in passing through the
earth may give them a clear appearance.
yet the poison and disease remains,
though the water may look never so
clear. Js
It is still worse with the farmef, for
the drainage from the barn-yard and the
slops from the kitchen eventually find
their way into the family well!
The same condition Of things exists in
DIR large cities, whose water supplies are
rivers fed by little streams that carry of
the filth and drainage from houses. This
"water" is eventually drunk by rich apd
poor alike with great evil. ~
Some cautious people resort to the Alter
for purifying this water, but even the
filter does not remove this poison, for
water of the most deadly character may
pass through this filter and become clear,
yet the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impurity, they soon become foul. +
Now in like manner the human kid
news act as filter for the blood, and il
they are filed up with impurities and
become foul, like the filter, all the blood
in the system coursing through them be-
comes bad, for it is now conceded fact
that the kidneys are the chief means
whereby the blood is purified. These
organs are filled with thousands of hair
REe tubes which drain the impurities
from the blood, as the sewer pipes drain
impurities from our houses.
If sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and
fills the house with poisonous gas; SO il
any of the thousand and one little hair
like sewer tubes of the kidneys break
down, the entire body is affected by this
awful poison. -
It is a scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves Of sensation; and, con
sequently, disease may exist in these
organs for long time and not be sus
pected by the individual. It Is impossi
BILE to filter or take the death out of the
blood when the least arrangement exists
in these organs, and if the blood is not
filtered then the uric acid, or kidney
poison, removable only by Warmers saft
cure, accumulates in the system and at
tacks any organ, producing nine out
ten ailments, just as sewer gas and bae
drainage produce SO many fatal disorders
Kidney disease may be known to exis
/ if there is any marked departure from
ordinary health without apparent know
cause, and it should be understood by al
that the greatest peril exists, and is in
, tensifed, ii there is the least neglect t
treat it promptly with that great specific

cate organs undoubtedly does produc
much of the decay and disease whicl
eventually terminate in the fatal Bright
disease, for this disease, alike among tn
drinking men, prohibitionists, the to
baceo slave, the laborer, the merchan
and the tramp, works terrible devasts

' It is we'll known that the liver whicl

The public is learning much oh til

regulators, as they are the real bloc
purifiers of the system, they will escaI
